The OS isn't the problem. The binary blobs from Qualcomm is the real problem.

This is the massive advantage of rolling your own silicon.

I would be interested in seeing data on that. When you say "5 years is not that old" it can be read as "a 5 year old phone works just fine" and I fully agree with that, but it may be considered old in the sense that not many 5 year old phones are in use today.

Do a lot of people ignore their carrier's emails about upgrading at the expiration of the contract? I know I do, but I always assumed most people just upgraded almost right away to the new version.

Right, mine works fine as well. So you think that Apple should release the specs for the latests iOS that works with the iPhone 6?

That would be great. But it would also be great if they just released the specs/code of the first version of iOS that worked with any older-than-5 phone.

I still run iOS 10.3 on mine, and really don't care about the latest one, probably would run very slow anyway.
